Crystal Structures of the PBP2 Glycosyltransferase Domain: New Opportunities for Antibacterial Drug Design

The recent publication by Strynadka and colleagues, describing the first X‐ray structures of a soluble truncated version of PBP2 containing both glycosyltransferase and transpeptidase domains facilitates more common and feasible approaches for the rational design and in turn clinically useful GT‐inh...

Zusammenfassung:	The recent publication by Strynadka and colleagues, describing the first X‐ray structures of a soluble truncated version of PBP2 containing both glycosyltransferase and transpeptidase domains facilitates more common and feasible approaches for the rational design and in turn clinically useful GT‐inhibitors for the treatment of infections caused by highly resistant bacterial organisms.
